A Historically Underutilized Business is a business:
- In which at least 51 percent of the business, or of the stock in the case of a corporation, is owned by one of more minority persons, women, or disabled persons, and
- Of which one or more minority persons, women, or disabled persons control the management and daily business operations.
Historically Underutilized Businesses (HUB's) consist of minority, women and disabled business firms that are at least fifty-one percent owned and operated by an individual(s) of the aforementioned categories. Also included in this category are disabled business enterprises and non-profit work centers for the blind and severely disabled.
NCSA is fully committed to UNC Office of the President’s HUB Program. NCSA have developed pamphlets outlining the overall project information and has participated in several HUB oriented workshops.
For projects with scopes greater than $300K, the school requires all qualified bidders to comply with good faith effort requirements as outlined by North Carolina Department of Administration. For statewide information related to HUB please visit the DOA – HUB website: http://www.doa.state.nc.us/doa/hub/. For HUB information related to NCSA projects, please contact the FCO.
In addition, the school notifies the HUB program at the NC State Division of Purchase and Contract of all upcoming bids at least 10 days prior to the bid date. Furthermore, the school is working with local HUB organizations to develop lines of communications to notify organizations of upcoming bid solicitations. The school also provides interested construction firms the opportunity to review drawings for upcoming bids at the FCO.
